The First Image of a Solar Eclipse
This is the first recorded solar eclipse ever captured. Johann Julius Friedrich Berkowski took the image in Prussia at the Royal Observatory in Königsburg. It was captured on July 28, 1851. The daguerreotype was used to capture this image, as other methods had trouble capturing the solar eclipse.
